3.16 Agreement Amendment with RPH Risk Management for Industrial Hygiene Consulting Services
at Neal Road Landfill -The Department of Public Works contracted with RPH Risk Management
to develop a Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (SSHSP) for the Neal Road Recycling and Waste
Facility(NRRWF). This SSHSP was required to protect landfill employees from hazards associated
with receiving and burying fire debris from the recent Wall Fire. Fire debris can and does include
asbestos and other hazardous materials. In order to prepare the SSHSP, fire debris from several
parcels was sampled and analyzed. The analysis was used to develop personal protective
equipment requirements, including respirators, for employees processing fire debris at the
NRRWF.The SSHSP also included requirements for additional air-sampling, both in the fire debris
unloading area and in the breathing zone of operators of landfill equipment to determine
exposure levels for the equipment operators. In order to achieve a statistically valid analysis, air
samples must be collected over multiple days. Air-sampling at the NRRWF took longer than
anticipated, due to the fire debris arriving at the NRRWF sporadically instead of in large amounts
over just a few days.This resulted in the need for multiple additional days of sampling to obtain
statically valid sampling results. Now,with the addition of the new fire debris from the Ponderosa
Fire,additional sampling,and a revised SSHSP will be required. An amendment to the agreement
is required to add the cost of additional sampling events, associated lab analysis, and revisions
to the SSHSP.The not-to-exceed amount of the contract is increased from $25,000 to $100,000
and the completion date remains the same — action requested - 1) APPROVE CONTRACT
AMENDMENT; AND 2)APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. (Public Works)
3.17 Agreement with Recology for Fire Debris Removal After the Ponderosa Fire-The Department of
Public Works (DPW) requested quotes from the County's three franchised waste haulers to
provide fire debris removal service, called the "Bin Program," for property owners affected by
the Wall Fire. Recology was the only franchised waste hauler to agree to the County's Contract
terms at the proposed cost. As part of the anticipated County Bin Program for the Ponderosa
Fire, DPW staff requested Recology submit a quote for fire debris removal service. The proposed
quote per bin is higher than the Wall Fire program due to the additional travel distance, which
would average three hours per bin for delivery, pickup, and landfilling, and logistical issues
involved with serving the burned parcels. Accordingly, a separate agreement for Ponderosa Fire
debris removal is proposed with Recology to reflect a different fee schedule. The term of the
agreement is three months and the amount is not-to-exceed $50,000 — action requested - 1)
APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT. (Public Works)

cost of$15,630.19. CCO No. 2 increases the final pay estimate to reflect the actual quantities of

The total amount of CCO No. 2 is $11,891.95. The final contract amount for this project was
$309,422.14. All contract work has been completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications—action requested—1) RATIFY CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN; 2)APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN; AND 3) ACCEPT THE CONTRACT WORK AS COMPLETE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION. (Public Works)
